This amazing Lego X-Men X-Mansion could be yours

The creative designers at Lego have already turned out a number of cool Marvel Superhero sets, but none quite as amazing as this one. It’s a four-story reproduction of Professor Charles Xavier’s epic abode, the X-Mansion. The set recently crossed the 10,000 vote threshold on the Lego Ideas (formerly Cuusoo) site, and that means it’s headed for an official review by a panel of Lego staff.

As you can see, it’s a massive build — easily on par with Lego’s Death Star set. Everything an X-Men fanatic could possibly ask for is there. There’s a classroom for Gifted Youngsters to study in, a dorm room where they can crash, an attic garden for Storm to tend to, and, of course, the headmaster’s office.

There’s also a detailed Danger Room for the X-Men minifigs to train in (complete with observation deck) and a medical bay where they can be treated afterwards. The X-Mansion wouldn’t be complete without Cerebro or a situation room, and GlenBricker clearly knew that. They’re both part of the build, too.

It’s also been built exactly how the folks at Lego like to build sets like this (the Simpsons House, for example). The mansion has two elements on it that fold open, allowing it to be stored a bit more easily and opened up when it’s play time — or when you simply feel like showing it off in its full glory.

Now, it’s hard to imagine Lego actually offering up this exact set. For example, there are 45 minifigs shown. That’s almost twice as many as they include with the $400 Death Star. GlenBricker isn’t proposing that every single one be included, however. He’s suggesting a core that includes Professo X, Beast (who else is going to hang upside down from the bar in the lab?), Shadowcat, Gambit, and Mystique.

Other minifigs are up in the air. Cyclops and Storm would be a good fit, but Lego’s going to be offering them this summer in the X-Men vs. the Sentinel kit (above). GlenBricker’s set up a voting page on his blog where you can cast your vote, though ultimately it would be up to Lego to decide who gets included.

And they won’t even begin the review process until September. Argh! In the meantime, you can at least check out the gallery to see some close-up images of GlenBricker’s amazing creation. If you’ve got enough pieces at home and don’t mind dropping a few bucks on Pick-A-Brick to fill in the gaps, you could always build your own while you wait…
